“Some losses, we can never prepare for. When those losses occur, we’re left to wallow in the dark hole they create within us. We’re stuck in a world that won’t cease its spinning, despite our almost-constant pleas for it to stop—to end the ever-growing, all-consuming pain that is now a fixture in our days.

That’s how it was to lose Sophie. She was the universe–in and of herself. She held the world, and once she was gone, so was everything.”

Got some writing done today, and it felt wonderful.
